Chapter 7. Soft Keys; Save; Revert - Avid Technology Artist Control User Manual

Chapter 7: Soft Keys
Soft Keys tab
This tab controls Surface and Touchscreen Soft Key assignments. The only difference between them is that the Surface Soft Keys
are accessed by the 12 circular buttons below the Touchscreen, while the Touchscreen Soft Keys are accessed from the Soft Keys
Setup Touchscreen (see "Soft Key View" on page 25).
The application listed in the upper left of the window is called in focus because:
• Is controlled by Artist Control
– and –
• Receives computer keystrokes and mouse events.
Artist Control can control many applications, each with its own Soft Key assignments. Since Artist Control responds dynamically
as the focussed application changes, you may see the Soft Keys assignments change in EuControl. Switch the focus back to the
desired application and then switch back to EuControl to restore them. Although an application's unsaved Soft Key edits are pre-
served between focus changes until you quit the application, it is recommended that you save your session or project frequently.
Be sure to check that the proper application is in focus before using Save, Restore, or Revert.

Save

Click Save to permanently store any changes in assignment and/or function to the Soft Keys. Changes are retained even without
clicking Save until you quit EuControl.

Revert

Click Revert to revert to the Soft Key assignments since the last Save command. This discards any changes made since EuControl
was last started.
